4 Definition The PCC is a constraint on the possible combinations of weak elements (clitics, agreement markers) depending on their person value and their grammatical function. interaction between IO and DO, but also found between SU and DO marked combinations lead to ungrammaticality literature: Perlmutter (1971); Kayne (1975); Bonet (1991; 1994) Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
5 Versions of the PCC (ditransitives) Strong version; local effect (Bonet 1991: 182) In a combination of a weak direct object and an indirect object [clitic agreement marker or weak pronoun], the direct object has to be 3rd person. (1) IO DO 1/2 3 * 1/2 1/2 3 3 * 3 1/2 Weak version; global effect (cf. Bonet 1991) In a combination of a weak direct object and an indirect object [clitic, agreement marker or weak pronoun], the direct object must not be 1st/2nd person unless the indirect object is 1st/2nd person, too. (2) IO DO 1/2 3 1/2 1/2 3 3 * 3 1/2 For more versions, see Haspelmath (2004); Nevins (2007). Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41

11 Weak PCC: data (6) Weak PCC in Catalan (Bonet 1994): a. Te m ha venut el mercader més important CL.2SG.ACC CL.1SG.DAT has sold the merchant most important The most important merchant has sold you to me. b. Vi ci manderà cl.2pl.dat cl.1pl.acc send.fut.3sg S/he will send us to you(pl) Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
12 The PCC with transitive verbs: Icelandic occurs in Icelandic quirky subject constructions restriction on the person of the object DP (see e.g. Taraldsen 1995) The Person Restriction on Nominative Objects In the presence of a dative subject, the agreeing nominative object has to be third person. Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
13 The PCC in Icelandic (7) PCC in mono-clausal quriky subject constructions: a. Henni leiddust þeir she.dat bored.3pl they.nom She was bored by them. b.*henni leiddumst vid she.dat bored.1pl we.nom She was bored by us Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
14 A morphological or a syntactic phenomenon? Two views on the PCC in the literature: morphological phenomenon (Bonet 1991; 1994; Miller and Sag 1997): The ungrammatical combinations are not syntactically ill-formed but violate morphotactic constraints. syntactic phenomenon: The PCC is the result of competition in syntax (Anagnostopoulou 2003; 2005; Adger and Harbour 2007; Řezáč 2008; Richards 2008). morphological account: idiosyncratic co-occurrence restrictions; does not account for the fact that the PCC follows the Silverstein-scale; models repairs of the PCC. syntactic account: independent evidence from interactions with other syntactic operations (on repair strategies see e.g. Bonet (2008); Řezáč (2008); Arregi and Nevins (2012)) Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41

16 Evidence for a syntactic account The PCC arises only if Dat c-commands Nom/Abs, but not if Nom/Abs c-commands Dat (see Řezáč 2008 on French and Basque). The PCC does not arise with non-argumental datives, e.g. ethical datives ( invoke the speaker or addressee as witness or vaguely affected party, see Jouitteau and Řezáč 2008). The combination of arguments banned by the PCC is grammatical if the arguments do not Agree with the verb, e.g. in non-finite clauses in Basque. movement of the Nom/Abs across the dative can circumvent a PCC violation, e.g. in Icelandic (see Řezáč 2008).

20 Basic idea Weak elements: spell-out of features that a functional head acquires through Agree with an argument DP. The PCC is the result of competition. It arises if two DPs have to enter into Agree with a single head, i.e in a two arguments against one head -configuration. Agree applies twice (sequentially) and is subject to a locality condition. Result: Agree between the head and the higher DP can bleed subsequent Agree with the lower DP. Depending on the features of the lower DP, bleeding can result in ungrammaticality. In this account, person/animacy hierarchies play no role. [...] an account which dispenses with hierarchies and relies exclusively on feature checking procedures.

24 Evidence 1 drop of agreement in Icelandic: PCC holds only if the dative subject occupies SpecTP and the nominative object agrees with the verb (mediated by T). The combination is grammatical with default agreement. 2 PP-repair: One of the elements is realized in a PP instead of as a weak element (clitic, agreement marker). PPs are not Agree controllers.

32 Structure (11) Structure: FP F [ π: ], [ #: ] XP DP dat [π:v] X X ZP... DP nom/acc ([π:v]), [#:V]... For locality reasons, F first agrees with the closer dative DP; in a subsequent step, it can target the lower nominative DP. F = v (ditransitives) or T (transitive) Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
33 Analysis Since the dative DP is the closest argument for F and since it always bears a person feature ([ person]), it values the person probe on F. By assumption, datives lack number features. Hence, the number probe cannot be valued in the first Agree cycle. The number probe on F targets thus targets the lower nominative/accusative DP for number and is valued. But the person feature of the lower DP cannot enter into Agree with the head; the person probe has been valued previously by Agree with the dative DP. Consequence: If the lower DP bears person features, it will not be assigned case. Consequence: Only derivations in which the lower DP does not bear a person feature (i.e. is 3rd person) will converge strong PCC The PCC is a case filter effect.

38 The weak PCC Weak PCC: The lower argument can be local person of the dative argument is also local person. problem so far: the lower argument can never check person proposal: A head can enter into Multiple Agree with several arguments simultaneously, i.e. person is checked simultaneously with the two DPs parameter: languages allow for multiple agree - yes or no (16) A condition on Multiple Agree: Multiple Agree can take place only under non-conflicting feature specifications of the agreeing elements.

Is multiple Agree optional or a repair that applies whenever simple Agree would lead to a violation of the case filter (then the analysis would contain an OT-component)? no formal implementation Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41

41 Summary: Anagnostopoulou (2003; 2005) The PCC is the result of competition between two DPs that Agree with the same head. The head bears only one person and one number feature. The structurally higher DP Agrees with the head in person. The lower DP must cope with what is left after the first Agree cycle. If both DPs bear person features, one of them cannot check its person features. The PCC is a case filter effect. crucial: person specifications of the arguments variation: multiple Agree available yes or no Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41

The PCC is not a case filter effect (as in Anagnostopoulou s analysis), but the approaches share their basic idea: two arguments relate to a single head and thus cannot have the same feature (a person feature). Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
51 Feature inventory person feature: [participant:1/2/ ] number feature: [number: sg/du/pl] presence of [participant:] entails animacy ( capable of mental experience ) local person: always animate bears [participant:] 3rd person animates: unvalued [participant:]; 3rd person inanimates: absence of [participant:] feature (17) a. [participant: 1, number: singular] b. [participant: 12, number: dual] c. [participant:, number: singular] (animates) d. [number: singular] (no entailment for animacy) IOs: always interpreted as semantically animate Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
52 Analysis Appl introduce the IO; it has a selection requirement: [ PART: ] PCC: The features which a functional head requires its specifier to bear cannot be used as probes in the head s complement domain. Reason: Probe-goal relations between a head and its specifier are only possible when the head s complement domain lacks a goal that matches the probing feature(s). Due to cyclicity, the goal in the complement domain would value the probe first (cf. Abels 2003) Same idea as in Anagnostopoulou s approach: IO always checks person on a funcional head, the DO must also relate to this head if it bears a person feature, but the head provides only a single feature. Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
53 Evidence for the relevance of animacy Multidimensional scales: In the leísta dialect of Spanish, not only person but also animacy plays a role in the PCC (Ormazábal and Romero 2007): lo/la/los/las for inanimates and animates in Standard Spanish, in this dialect only for inanimates, clitics for animates = le/les; if the DO is 3rd person, the PCC arises iff the DO is animate, but not if it is inanimate. (18) PCC in the leista dialect: a. te lo di 2SG.DAT 3SG.ACC gave.1sg I gave it to you. b.*te 2SG.DAT le 3SG.ACC I gave him/her to you. di gave.1sg Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41

55 on the PCC in Icelandic quirky subject constructions 3rd person = absence of person features But (quirky) datives always bear a person features (justification: to circumvent defective intervention effects datives bear a minimal φ-probe + an unvalued case feature to make the dative active) T bears a person and a number probe. The dative, being the closest argument, will value person on T. Person Agree with the lower nominative argument requires matching = non-distinctness of the probe s and the goal s features. This derives the weak PCC: ok if DO = 3rd (no person feature present), if IO =1st/2nd, then DO = 1st/2nd. strong version: previously valued features do not count; the DO must check all of its features to receive case same basic idea as before: one person probe on a head, but two arguments that want to check person; PCC = case filter effect Doreen Georgi (Leipzig University, IGRA) EGG 2014, Debrecen July 31, / 41
